The center of mass \( G \) of a high jumper follows the trajectory shown. Determine the component \( v_{0} \), measured in the vertical plane of the figure, of his takeoff velocity and angle \( \theta \) if the apex of the trajectory just clears the bar at \( A \). (In general, must the mass center \( G \) of the jumper clear the bar during a successful jump?) Assume \( a=3.5 \mathrm{ft}, b=3.7 \mathrm{ft}, c=3.3 \mathrm{ft} \). Answers: \( v_{0}= \) \( \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec} \) \( \theta= \)
